I got my daughter to print them out on her printer.Thought it would be easier than keeping all the e mails on my phone.

I keep all the emails in a separate folder marked Tesco and scan them one by one
Printouts don’t scan if they are creased in any way

Redc has dried up for me too

Acumen and Opinion World are where I make a few Bob

I used a Tesco digital card that I printed(for the first time) out last week and it wouldn't scan . I have 9 more from IO which I was intending to get booze from for Christmas

Semi related to that; there an Alcohol Legislation coming into effect from January 2021; loyalty card points (i.e. Tesco Clubcard vouchers) can no longer be used towards the purchase of alcohol.

I have no idea if this will also apply to Tesco digital cards - but just a heads up.

Another option for you is online shopping and enter the card number at checkout from home

You can still use them with amazon and use the an post option but the relevant duty will have to be paid, all depends what kind of deal is struck if any

You do know that you can use amazon UK without parcel wizard?!. I use them every week and all just An Post deliveries. Many items are now shipped to Ireland for the same postage as an UK address.

I know but from what I remember, a lot of items cant be posted to Ireland. has this changed much over the last year?

An post have a parcel forwarding service called address pal for items from the us and U.K. that is set up to pay import charges

Probably easier to get items sent straight from amazon to your house tbh

I don't do on line shopping.Think my problem is sorted.Tried another printed version from IO today and it worked fine.A few I got printed by my daughter were faded (as her printer was almost out of ink).She refilled the ink in her printer and printed a couple of new ones and it worked fine today when I tried one of the new ones in Tesco.

Gift voucher like this should be OK - loyalty points and the 'x off y' vouchers they send out / print in papers (10 off 40, etc) are what's stopped.

Four quid RedC survey that took about three minutes there - brings me to 40 so there's still a vague chance of a payout this year.

not on a daily basis on my mac, but i did suggest it may have been on once as a a mistake as a way of resolving the issue and they asked me to clear cookies etc wait 48 hours and get in touch again but it was a waste of time
the next few customer service agents didnt seem to have a clue what i was talking about, one assumed i was asking why i was not receiving email invites but i had not even mentioned that, i think they have terrible customer service agents in tech support they seem clueless

I told them to close the account in the end, waste of time dealing with them

I got an email from MyOpinionMatters yesterday.

Dear Valued MyOpinionMatters Member,

As many of you will have noticed, we’ve been having a lot of technical issues with the MyOpinionMatters website which is proving technically very difficult to rectify. That said, we want you to know that all of your data, history and points are safely stored in our database management system which is independent to the MyOpinionMatters website.

Many of you have contacted us to say that you would like to redeem your points for gift cards but can’t because you can’t access your account. We appreciate how frustrating this is but we want you to know that next week we will be contacting all eligible account holders to see if A) they would like to use their points balance to redeem a gift card(s) and subsequently which gift card(s) they would like us to redeem/send.

Again, we would like to apologise for the frustration many of you have felt of late and suffice to say we will be redeeming your hard earned Gift Cards in time for Christmas.

To those of you who have contacted us in relation to this issue, thank you for your patience, and to those who continue to participate in surveys, thank you sincerely.

We’ll be in touch next week.

Kind Regards,

The MyOpinionMatters Team

Just checked there, the site is still broken, but it looks like they're working on the issue.

I notice that the amount beside 'click this link to check for further survey opportunities' on Mobrog has gone down from 0.43 to 0.38.

I managed to complete three of the surveys they sent me by email invite this week and they only paid the full amount stated for one of them.


Edit: They still appear to be crediting 0.43 for surveys, for the moment.

How much have we all made this year?

Think I'm around the 300 mark.
